Thread 11 TTC#1. Let the fertile games begin! May the eggs be ever in your favour!

cd9 for me. Just getting impatient to start dtd again.

I m geographically separated from OH until thursday (cd11) . But he is taking me out to a nice restaurant ........ will try to persuade OH not to drink too much ......

I swear I never thought so much about dtd before ttc!

I plan to start opk testing from tomorrow.

good luck all!!! I feel another bfp for someone soon......

Thanks kat!
Uhuu! Jem and Elle! Fingers crossed for you!!! Today or tomorrow testing? Exciting (has lost hope and now lives off other people's BFPs )

Ooh lovely list 👍🏽 thanks Kat

Kat I might do the same next month!! Just forget it all for a cycle and see what happens???

Morning all ☕️

Aunt Cow due today, so far no sign. Really achy back but not cramping, no acne. Slightly sore boobs. The roller coaster of cycle 2 continues.

kat if you DTD and ov Friday that sounds like a good chance to me. Your oh sounds like a man after my heart - pistachio do not last long in my house.

Oh hang on... Did knightly get a BFP too? She was on the list from ages ago. Hurrah % can go up!
... If so we are back up to 40.67%

Here is the possibly incorrect list.
Many dates need to be added so feel free to let me know these!
We are currently running at a percentage of 38.9%!!! We need a few more bfp's as our take up rate (new people joining the thread) is significantly higher than our conversion rate (BFPs).
Tentatively wondering if people who haven't posted in more than a few months may have found a happier home on MN and aren't part of our thread anymore (so can remove them to make the % higher) or is that mean? (However all statistics are lies anyway)

I'm due to test Friday if cycle is 28 days like last month or Monday if 30 days like normal cycles. I think I might crack on Saturday if no AF. Very hard to compare to last month as was on the good painkillers and was very constipated and nauseated.

This month minimal symptoms, very windy and a bit more CM than usual but otherwise less AF symptoms than usual have been in a very happy mood. Boobs not really sore bit achey around the sides but I've been coughing a lot.

DH is refusing to engage in conversation about it as afraid I will get my hopes up

Chocolate ones would be fine elle. Shellfish has a reasonable amount too. Oysters have the most but tuna (fresh rather than tinned) has a good amount too

Hey ever

I'm pretty sure I'm 8 DPO as well but not testing until AF is overdue ... Still got 9 days to go!

Lots of bfp-ers didn't have any symptoms so stay positive!

I was super bloated last night, nauseous, and burping for about 5 hrs straight, really bad tummy cramps and back pain (which I've never had before) but I think it was probably just my digestive system protesting at all the dairy I had yesterday, think I am a bit lactose intolerant. Must have been that cos feeling better this morning. But it did get my hopes up a bit, through all the pain!

The 2ww is soooo slow.

Hello!!!!!! I have read from my mess gave until now but not caught up before as ended up going out for dinner (on a Monday? How decadent!)
Lol at love length (I feel this is an in-joke from something I missed) and nut refuser. DH is a nut fiend (he will consume an entire £4 bag of pistachios in one sitting and then ask where all the nuts are the next day. I refuse to buy more than one-bag-per-weekly-shop as otherwise DH would be fat and our shopping would cost a bomb)

Kwick it sounds like you are a bit of a pin cushion

The list is hopelessly out of date as I have missed arrivals of AF and also newbies... But we can get it back up together today (if I just boot everyone up to yesterday's date off the bus until shown bus pass) and can get it up together with a bit of help!

I am probably out for the month :( CD16, had a positive(just) OPK fri lunchtime, assumed peak would be sat or sun but it's faded away. Only dtd fri and sun (and sun Prob too late) so very slim chance that the queen has been successfully introduced to her suitor. :( cycle 8 anyone? (Have decided to delete Ovia and bin OPKs next month and just not bother with actual effort or thought as it's too stressful to keep going like this)

Good morning everyone!
I finally managed to catch up on all messages!
I haven't seen The List for a bit, kat what do we pay you for?
Who is on 2ww and about to test? I am 8dpo today and usually AF shows after 11 dpo (damn short luteal phase) I feel as little pregnant as a potato
bah!
Fart talk, I am gassy as hell. But checking last month data I was the same before AF

feefs miley - let's not get carried away one ovulation and one bfp would be amazing! Relieved that I am ovulating at all after what happened.

Hahaha miley are you talking about fanny farts?!

Lol Miley!!

Ooh Feefs I love Brazil nuts so that is excellent news! Do the chocolate ones still have selenium in! No chance of DH eating them though, he is a nut refuser! Is selenium in anything else where it is absorbed easily?

Sorry about your weekend FX, that sounds truly shit! I'd be a wreck by now.

Hep I think my DH did that test online too. I'm not a massive lover of group situations either. Mostly though you can still meet people one to one in those type of settings (I'm thinking baby groups etc) which feels less intimidating. Anyway as you say, worry about that later!

LOL Miley you do have a way with words!!!

No kwick no bottom loving.

He's lucky he got nearly my lulu belle never mind my choco starfish!

Oh no, I should have read before commenting. Sorry patches I hope it is a double ov for you! unless you'd rather not have twins of course the tww is going to be especially difficult bless you

LOL Miley not at all sure what you have been up to "OH was that desperate his love length has frantically thrusted an insane amount of fart into me."

I DTD with the 3 injections earlier... I am getting more proficient but my tummy is getting awfully sore... much like a pin cushion. I hope I am okay to out arnica on it.

One of them is growth hormone... I do hope it does not make my nose grow bigger

I listened to the IVF hypnosis CD I bought - it was very relaxing which is what I need right now. The "Right Time Baby" book arrived also. Did you know that the number of women seeking abortions in the UK is the same number for under 16s as for age 40-44?

Dtd tonight for he first time in ages and strongly believe OH was that desperate his love length has frantically thrusted an insane amount of fart into me. Oh. My. God!!! Trapped wind anyone?!?!?! It's so painful! I've managed to get some of it out and OH just nearly gagged! I've never had it before, it's horrendous

I've done some googling ipatches seems that you can ovulate twice In one cycle a couple of days apart
